Great Manchester police would said that they could not confirm the address in which the raid took place due to the ongoing investigation.

Detective Chief Superintendent Dominic Scally, head of counter terrorism policing for the North West, said: “Today’s arrest forms part of a wider operation into the activities of a proscribed organisation.

“The man remains in custody to be questioned by specialist officers and our investigation continues.

“Those involved in proscribed organisations have a detrimental effect on the communities others work so hard to build so it is essential people contact us with information so we can put a stop to those who support extremist ideologies.

“Any information that people have can be dealt with in the strictest of confidence by calling the police on 0800 789 321.”

Lincolnshire Police, who assisted in the operation, confirmed that it was part of a pre-planned operation in the city.

This comes after six alleged members of the group were arrested in the Midlands in January after raids by Counter Terrorism police.
